>So I know servicing has ceased for Foxpro and as well selling of licensing and all that. What I would like to know is realistically how long should I expect to be able to hold out with my applications working on workstations? i.e. they work on Windows 10. Eventually hardware will change and the OS will change to not allow a VFP application to run on a windows workstation. I know this is a guess, but as an educated guess, what would you all say? How many years would we have left before we are forced out of it?

"forced" is a bit subjective.

The only "forcing" event I've personally witnessed was the Y2K where some apps wouldn't run on their present platforms after 12/31/99, period.

I'm supporting some VFP apps that will probably go on forever - barring a Y2K-like event.
The real concern for the user, however, is that someday I'll hit the lotto and take off for the French Riviera.
The size of the VFP support universe is inexorably moving in one direction and any smart user will consider that.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
